Data Recovery Process - Professional Data Recovery

Process

Give us a call! Even by phone we try to estimate the chances of success and the expected costs of the data recovery as precisely as possible.

We recover your data in three simple steps - professionally, securely and at a fixed price. You only pay if the data recovery is successful. Our proven process guarantees transparency and planning reliability from first contact to the handover of your recovered data.

Step 1: Professional Analysis and Fixed-Price Quote

Professional diagnosis and analysis of the storage device

Contact and submission: Call us on our free hotline or send a request via our contact form. Our experts will advise you free of charge about your case and the chances of successful data recovery.

Free pickup: We collect the defective storage device free of charge throughout Germany via UPS Express with tracking number. Alternatively, you can drop off the storage medium in person at one of our locations in Leipzig, Hamburg or Munich.

Cleanroom diagnosis: Our team analyses the storage device in our ISO-certified cleanroom. The exact extent of damage is determined: Is it a logical defect (deleted files, formatting, virus) or physical damage (head crash, electronics failure, drop damage)?

Fixed-price quote: You receive a binding fixed-price quote - no hidden costs, no surprises. We only begin the actual data recovery once you accept the quote.

Good to know

The preliminary analysis is non-binding. If you decline the quote, we return your storage device free of charge. No risk for you.

Step 2: Professional Data Recovery in the Cleanroom

Data recovery in dust-protected cleanroom laboratory

State-of-the-art technology: Our specialists work in a Class 100 (ISO 5) cleanroom - comparable to hospital operating theatres. Here, hard drives are protected from dust particles smaller than a human hair that could irreparably damage the sensitive magnetic platters.

Individual approach: Every case of damage is unique. For logical defects, we use specialised, partially self-developed software. For mechanical damage, our technicians replace defective components such as read/write heads, spindle motors or electronics boards from our extensive spare parts inventory.

Supported storage media: We recover data from all common storage devices:

  • Hard drives (HDD) - internal and external, all manufacturers
  • SSDs - SATA, NVMe, M.2, controller and chip defects
  • RAID / NAS - all RAID levels, Synology, QNAP, Buffalo and more
  • USB sticks and memory cards - SD, microSD, CompactFlash
  • Smartphones and tablets - Android and iOS
Ongoing updates: We keep you informed throughout the data recovery process. In case of unforeseen complications, we inform you immediately and discuss the next steps with you.

Important in case of data loss

Switch off the affected device immediately and do not attempt any recovery yourself. Any further operation can worsen the damage and make professional data recovery more difficult or impossible. More details in our first aid measures for data loss.

Step 3: Secure Handover of Your Recovered Data

Successful data recovery and secure handover

File list: After successful recovery, you receive a detailed list of all recovered files and folders. This allows you to verify that your important data is included before payment.

Handover on your preferred medium: We copy your recovered data onto a storage medium of your choice - new external hard drive, USB stick or via encrypted download link. For sensitive data, we also offer encrypted transfer.

Secure deletion: After successful handover and your confirmation, we delete all your data from our systems according to GDPR-compliant standards. Upon request, you receive a deletion certificate.

No data - no costs

Our promise: You only pay for successful data recovery. If we cannot recover your data, the success-based fees will not be charged. This promise applies without exception to all orders.
